Elf on the Shelf
For all of you who shop for Christmas way in advance: This is a Christmas gift you need to have ready BEFORE Christmas! Elf on the Shelf flits around your house in the days and weeks leading up to December 25 as the children anticipate the big day (and their big haul). You are the means by which he flits, of course, because every night after the kiddies go to sleep, you move the elf to another spot. When they wake up, they tear around looking for him and wonder how he got there, what he’s thinking, and what he’ll tell Santa about them.
Your kids will want to name him and behave well because their ELF is watching! After Christmas, Elf goes into storage to come out again next year. (Tell the kids he returned to the North Pole and will be back next December.) Create your own Elf tradition and lore… the kids will have a ball with this!
